Welcome to another episode of Jenk TV! Inspired by the stoner comedy and quirky editing of shows like Beavis and Butthead, The Tom Green Show, and Tim and Eric, we’re bringing that same energy to the skateboarding world. This time, we journeyed to Los Angeles to hang out with Reggie, the driving force behind Corporate Skateboards, and his diverse crew of riders.
You might not have heard of Corporate Skateboards before, but their unique board graphics and the eclectic mix of riders caught our eye. Their styles, which might seem like they wouldn’t mesh, somehow create a cohesive and captivating whole. We spent a day (and a half!) with them, exploring their “HQ” and sharing some free gear with the locals. Thanks for watching, and please, absolutely no negative comments.

The day began with a tour of the Corporate Skateboards headquarters, which is as unconventional as the brand itself. Reggie showed us around and introduced us to his team, a collection of skaters with distinct styles and personalities. It was clear from the start that this crew is not your typical skate team. Their individuality is what makes them so intriguing.

Corporate Skateboards is known for its eye-catching and often bizarre graphics. These aren’t your standard skate decks; they’re works of art that reflect the brand’s unique identity and the personalities of the riders. Each board is like a mini canvas showcasing their wild and creative spirit. The crew’s individual styles on the board are just as varied as their deck designs.

We then hit the streets with the Corporate Skateboards crew, capturing their raw talent and individual approaches to skateboarding. They weren’t just doing tricks; they were expressing themselves through their skating. The energy was infectious, and it was great to see how these different styles came together seamlessly. Later, we got the chance to give away some free gear to local skaters, spreading the Corporate love.
This Jenk TV episode was filmed by Ian Michna, with additional filming by Frank Pfeifer, and edited by Max Seeger.
